A review by boogi29
Child of God by Cormac McCarthy

3.0

Child of God is a glimpse into the heart of the horrid and deprave. There is no attempt at understanding, just the darkness that surrounds the individual in this short novel.

This is a departure from McCarthys usual writing stile, as it is significantly more straightforward than Blood Meridian or The Road, but I think that lends to the point of this book.


But I need to read something to cleanse my palate, as this and Blood Meridian back to back makes me need some kindness.
